PINEHURST, N.C. - Three members of the NC State men's golf team made the 64-person cut at the North and South Amateur Championship Tuesday at Pinehurst. Garry Hill, a rising junior from Johannesburg, South Africa, tied for 23rd place at even par. Stephen Lewton, a rising senior from Milton Keynes, England, tied for 54th place at four-over. Banks Wood, a rising senior from Charlotte, N.C., also tied for 54th place at four-over as well.
The first round of stroke play was at the par-72 Course No. 8 and the second round was played at the par-71 Course No. 2.
